Woman hold her head and cry,
cause her son had been shot down in the street and die
, from a stray bullett
Woman hold her head and cry,
explaining to her was a passerby
who saw the woman cry wondering

now she knows that the wages of sin is death,
oh gift Jah Jah life (life) she cried
Oh, oh, I know, Johnny was a good man,
I know, Johnny was a good, good, good, good, good,
Woman hold her head and cry,
cause her son had been Shot down in the street and die,
